“Today my daughter changed her profile picture. After maybe 5 minutes I get a text …’ I didn’t know she was dating a black boy, did you?’
It took me all day to think up a response, which I didn’t send personally but thought I would share for anyone else that ‘may not know’.
Yes in fact I did know, but the color of his skin doesn’t define who he is. What does define who is he is how he treats my daughter.
I see my daughter dating a boy that comes to my house and shows me nothing but respect (a big deal in my book). It’s always Yes Ma’am, No Ma’am, we talk about football and baseball, he tells me bye when he leaves, and has not once shown me a lack of manners or respect.
I see my daughter dating a boy who treats her good. He takes her on dates, to ballgames, out to eat… not to a club or partying on the weekends.
I see my daughter dating a boy who takes her to church with him. Every Sunday. He plays in the band, she sits with his family. How many young men these days make church a priority? None of the others have.
He doesn’t hit her, cuss her, lie to her, or make her cry. Would I rather her date a white boy that did, to keep from her dating another race? Absolutely not.
So that’s my response to the question I was asked. And I know people have their own opinion, but at the end of the day, the fact that my daughter has someone that loves her and treats her like a queen makes me happy. That’s something I’ve never had in my life and I’m glad she does.”

@eric_seufert Perfect example I’ve seen in a while of “smartest guy in the room” who fails to notice all the others who had been in the room, and who’d already left, long before he arrived..,
Elon: brand advertisers don’t care what they are getting for their money. Performance advertisers do, and they only contribute 15% of Twitter’s revenue.
6/ (Aside: I wish the paper would have covered the fact that Apple's own ad network does not use SKAdNetwork for attribution but rather the Apple Ads Attribution API, which provides more reporting granularity than does SKAdNetwork. All other ad networks must use SKAdNetwork)
5/ Apple's own ad network is allowed to depict use of consumer data for ads targeting as 'personalization', whereas ATT prompt buckets all other applications, for other ad networks, as 'tracking'. This is clear self-preferencing, as the semantics matter! https://t.co/NNPb0NHZmM
4/ The second is that users can choose to participate in ads personalization with Apple's ad network, Apple Search Ads, which many other ad platforms don't allow. That's true, but Apple also frames this as 'Ads Personalization' vs. the 'tracking' terminology used in ATT prompt
Today we mark the UK release of The Dark Side Of The Moon in 1973. Most critics hailed the album; the UK's Sounds said that the album was "unreservedly recommended...it features Pink Floyd's best playing and composing. The effects add to the music without a trace of gimmickry".
